How many of you hang and have gained much from it ?

I have been using heavy weight for over a year. My routine is two set every other day, starting with the 40 lbs and increasing the weight 10 lbs at a time until I get to the 70 lbs. Each time I add the 10 lbs I hold the weight for 30 seconds then add another 10 lbs. When I get to the 70 lbs I do the reverse going back down to the 40 lbs. It took me around 6 month before I was able to handle the 70 lbs. I have got as far as 80 lbs but for only 15 seconds. My goal is to reach 100 lbs sometime this year.

You must have a fast system to attach the weight every 30 seconds with the rest of the weight hanging. I like passive hanging for longer time so I can do desk tasks, but yours seems to be more effective in less pe time.

I have made a a weight system that you can stack the weights one on top of the other, and I have a large quantity of weight that I use.

Can you post a pic of this system?

Dustpan, can I take that to mean your hanger is homemade, or just the weight attachment system? If your hanger is not homemade, what type of hanger do you use? Thanks!

I gained about an inch using a swim cap hanger and then a BIB. Nothing fancy about my routine, I simply invested a 10+ hours a week while on the computer or out on the deck.
